Another real killer feature of web-based IDEs is zero setup for new engineers.

You won’t have to spend a day fiddling with your local env. Everything just works immediately.

There are commercial alternatives like GH codespaces but not as good as Cider-V.

Oboe | Full Stack Engineer | New York City | ONSITE | $170k-$230k

Oboe's goal is simple: teach one billion people one trillion things. We'll do that by building the world's first completely generalized AI-powered learning platform. Today, so much of our focus is spent on making machines smarter. We believe it's time for machines to make humans smarter.

We're looking for a Full-Stack Engineer to work across Oboe's stack, from our backend pipelines that leverage AI to generate world-class content, all the way to the interfaces that our users engage with on the web.

We're a team of generalists, so this job will have you learning every part of the systems and features that bring Oboe to life. This is a highly hands-on role where you'll have tremendous impact, ship real features to real users, iterate quickly, and learn a ton.

Tech Stack: Node, TypeScript, React, AWS, MySQL, LLMs.

Business value is a good way to think about it:

> As a software developer, fixing bugs is a good thing. Right? Isn’t it always a good thing?

> No!

> Fixing bugs is only important when the value of having the bug fixed exceeds the cost of the fixing it.

Just adding a data point. I got into YC in 08 but didn’t do it because I sold my company before I had a chance to accept.

PG gave me advice during the negotiation with the acquirer anyway.

Why does everyone keep pointing out Mayer's compensation on this deal?

Nobody said a word about the $200M that went Tim Armstrong's way in the Aol deal. [1]

Can't help but think that if Yahoo had a male ceo nobody would be making these comments.

Trying to acquire talent is not a terrible approach. From http://www.paulgraham.com/yahoo.html

In theory you could beat the death spiral by buying good programmers instead of hiring them. You can get programmers who would never have come to you as employees by buying their startups...

When you look at user tests, no one pauses to read this text. And the very few who do immediately forget what they read...

Even though some of the technologies discussed are hillariously obsolete, nearly everything published on joelonsoftware.com 10+ years ago remains surprisingly relevant:
